Closing Presentation College was not an easy decision

presentation college in aberdeen south dakota

Presentation College didn't come to the conclusion to close its local campus quickly, nor is it a decision taken lightly.

With a small campus, Presentation President Paula Langteau said, she personally knows the 125 faculty and staff who are impacted by this decision and that this change impacts more than 500 students enrolled in classes.

"It's absolutely heartbreaking," she said.

The decision to close came after an extensive evaluation of campus finances and strategic planning -- a process that started at the end of 2019 when Langteau came to campus.

Langteau was hired as interim president in October 2019 and then took the permanent post in 2020. When she was hired she was tasked with evaluating the financial health of the campus and its potential for growth.

According to information provided by Langteau, that evaluation, completed in 2020, showed that only Presentation's online Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs were covering program expenses. The study also showed that revenue from the online nursing programs were also subsidizing all other academic programs.

It was those findings that led to the development of a strategic re-envisioning plan the results of which showed a need to focus on rural health care because that's where Presentation's strengths were. Langteau said that need to focus on rural health care led to partnership discussions with numerous universities.

"We didn't see closure on the horizon," she said. "We brought in multiple partners to find out what we could do."

Over the next year those partnership proposals were reviewed by the Board of Trustees, which oversees Presentation College and the Corporate board for the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Aberdeen, also known as the Presentation Sisters.

The Presentation Sisters founded Presentation College and own the land used for the campus. Langteau said the fate of the campus buildings is yet unknown, since the college has been focused on the needs of the faculty, staff and students. But, she said, they're in conversation with an attorney to work out the logistics and to address any outstanding debt on the more recent building constructed on campus.

They're also in conversation with an attorney about how to handle financial donations to the university that are in an endowment.

COVID pandemic also had an impact

As presentation was going through its evaluation and strategic planning, Langteau said, Presentation saw a 7% increase in enrollment between fall of 2019 and fall of 2020. Enrollment jumped from 584 students to 625 students, but, she said, by the spring 2021 semester, enrollment dropped by 63 students who decided not to return for a second semester.

Langteau points to the pandemic as a reason for that drop. There wasn't yet a vaccine, people were scared, she said, and students were spending long stretches of time in quarantine.

"That was very difficult to navigate," she said noting many students who decided it was time to take a break from their education.

From there, she said, enrollment continued to drop with 582 enrolled by fall 2021 and 517 enrolled in fall 2022.

Not all students are on campus, however. Presentation's Bachelor of Science in Nursing is an online program and accounts for about 27% of student enrollment. An estimated 42% of enrolled students live on campus.

With about 36% of enrolled students from South Dakota, Presentation also draws from across the United States as well as internationally.

Agreement reached with St. Ambrose

Ultimately an agreement was reached with St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, to partner and create the Nano Nagle Online School of Nursing at St. Ambrose University. The program name is in honor of Nano Nagle who founded the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ireland in 1775.

The goal, she said, is that this partnership will strengthen and broaden the impact of the online nursing program which currently has clinical agreements with hospitals in eight states and was ranked fourth in the nation in 2021 by nursejournal.org.

"The hope is this partnership will expand to all 50 states and especially rural areas," she said.

In those rural areas, she said, licensed practical nurses want to further their education to registered nurse or a bachelor's degree, but as the reach of the program expands, Langteau said, that also means having the resources to set up clinical opportunities nearby.

Partnership led to further evaluation

Langteau said once the partnership agreement was reached with St. Ambrose, officials looked at the programs left on campus.

"When we came to a point where we realized it looks like we're going to be able to move forward with the online nursing but that there is not enough significant need in this area to sustain a campus with our other programs, the board made the decision, and the sisters made the decision jointly," she said.

That decision to close, started a new conversation with the campus' accreditor, which reviewed all the steps the campus took to evaluate and reach its decision. Presentation also had to take steps to meet requirements by the Higher Learning Commission, which included having a minimum of two teach-out agreements for students.

Langteau said so far, Presentation has three teach-out agreements in place. These agreements are with St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa; University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D.; and Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan. St. Ambrose also offered to be a home campus for Presentation's student records, she said.

While Presentation students have the option to go to any college they chose to finish their degrees, Langteau said the teach-out agreements offer an advantage -- not only are students guaranteed acceptance, but they're guaranteed tuition that is equal to or less than their out-of-pocket expenses at Presentation.

Langteau said that means if, say, financial aid and scholarships brought tuition costs down to $8,000 at Presentation, one of the teach-out campuses would work out a financial aid plan to provide a comparable package.

Students will also complete their programs at the same time they expected to complete them at Presentation.

When it comes to athletes, however, the guarantees aren't there. Student athletes will need to reach out to coaches for the athletic programs and see if they would be a good fit.

But, Langteau said, Presentation isn't limited to three teach-out agreements. She said she's already advised Presentation coaches to keep in contact with student athletes. If they need a teach-out agreement at their next university, she said, she'll reach out and see if an agreement can be drafted.

While three have been announced, Langteau said she expects to announce more in the near future.

Other private campuses close in recent years

Presentation College is one of two private colleges that announced campus changes this week. The other is Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences, which announced a merger with St Joseph University in Philadelphia, according to a report by Higher Ed Dive.

That report has been tracking how many public and private schools have announced mergers or campus closures since 2016. That report, which includes this week's announcements by Presentation and Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences, shows 90 campuses in 32 states have made such announcements with the most happening in Massachusetts (nine) and California (eight). Illinois was next with six followed by Indiana, Tennessee and Vermont each with five.

Presentation College Closing This Summer

72 years after the Presentation Sisters founded Presentation College to train nurses for rural health care, Presentation College in Aberdeen will close after this summer’s academic term. Here’s the College’s announcement:

Presentation College announced today that it will not enroll students for the 2023-24 academic year and will cease educational operations at its Aberdeen campus after the Spring and Summer 2023 sessions. Three Teach-Out Agreements with other higher educational institutions are in place to provide complete credit acceptance and comparable net tuition costs for current students. Employees will be provided staggered end dates and final compensation based upon their responsibilities. St. Ambrose University (Davenport, Iowa) will continue to offer Presentation’s signature Online BSN program, a pathway for nursing students established through a consortial arrangement that was communicated last week. The Online BSN programs will become the Nano Nagle Online School of Nursing at St. Ambrose University in honor of Nano Nagle who founded the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Aberdeen, South Dakota (Presentation Sisters) in Ireland in 1775. “After careful evaluation of the sustainability of the College’s academic programs, and a thorough review of alternatives, the Board of Trustees and Presentation Sisters reluctantly decided to close the physical campus and implement Teach-Out programs as the most responsible way to steward students’ pathways to completing their degrees,” Sister Mary Thomas, president of the Presentation Sisters Corporate Board shared. “We understand and share the heartbreak by our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and Aberdeen community, and we will work closely with them to succeed through this transition.” Presentation Sisters founded the College in 1951 to fulfill its mission of rural health care and service through nursing education. The College later expanded to include academic programs in Health and Natural Sciences, and Social Science and Humanities, to support its mission of development of the whole person, in the Catholic tradition. Presentation Sisters have continuously sponsored the College and retained ownership of the campus land with the College as a separate nonprofit. Just before the COVID pandemic, the College, the Board of Trustees, and the Corporate Board of the Presentation Sisters embarked on a year-long process of examining data and market impacts, engaging constituent groups to better understand the financial health of the College and its potential for growing enrollment to achieve sustainability. Its rural location, difficult for many out-of-state students to access, was already a known factor, along with a significant dependency on tuition revenue and gifts. The impact of COVID exacerbated the College’s challenges. “The College explored and brought to the boards numerous partnership options over the last year, resulting in their selection of St. Ambrose University (SAU) for continuing the Online BSN programs,” said Paula Langteau, president of Presentation College. “As previously announced, St. Ambrose University’s state-of-the-art nursing program is a natural fit with Presentation to create the Nano Nagle Online School of Nursing, ensuring the legacies of the College and the Presentation Sisters,” President Paula Langteau said. “SAU also will serve as one of a number of Teach-Out Partners for other majors. It is important to us that every student has multiple, comparable options to complete their chosen degrees on time and without an increased financial investment.” Presentation also has Teach-Out Agreements in place with the University of Mary (Bismarck, North Dakota) and Olivet College (Olivet, Michigan) and continues to pursue adding agreements with other regional and online institutions. January 30-31, the College is hosting a Teach-Out Fair (in the afternoons) and a Career Fair (in the mornings) to assist students and faculty, respectively, with their transitions to other higher educational institutions. In a unique partnership for college transitions, the College is also bringing independent academic coaches from College Possible to campus to assist students with their individual plans. A Job Fair will be organized for later this Spring to help staff to explore future employment opportunities [Presentation College, announcement of closure , 2023.01.17].

Spring semester courses at Presentation started last week on Monday, January 9 . The college will maintain its full schedule of spring courses; it will offer only practical nursing certificate courses this summer. The college says it will fully refund students who choose to withdraw this semester .

St. Ambrose University will become the keeper of Presentation College’s transcripts and other records. The college says it is not filing for bankruptcy and should be able to carry out its existing contracts through August 31.

Presentation College’s closure is part of a long nationwide trend of campus closures. United States college and university closures spiked in 2016; over 860 higher-education campuses have closed since 2004 , largely due to a shrinking student pool . According to IPEDS , Presentation College’s full-time-equivalent enrollment in Academic year 2021 was 527; in 2017, PC FTEs reached a decade-peak at 752.

The Presentation Sisters left their convent in 2021 and moved to two assisted-living facilities in Aberdeen and Sioux Falls. The closure of Presentation College will leave the 100-acre campus on the northwest corner of town vacant and open to new development proposals. Expect a lot of money-people and idea people to be contacting the Sisters and the College trustees to float their ideas for converting the Presentation campus into Aberdeen’s Next Big Thing.

Another nail in the coffin of healthcare for the citizens of SD. It will not be long before healthcare will only be available to those who can travel great distances to see even a mid-level provider.

For decades to pay lawsuits and hush money to the victims of pederastic clergy the Roman Church has been bleeding the assets and financial resources of the Presentation, Benedictine and the other ten orders of nuns in the United States forcing many elderly women into nursing homes at taxpayer expense. That’s it’s criminal is to say the very least.

Another measure of the dire labor shortage in the US is the closing of over 860 higher education schools since 2004. The US is short 400,000 workers (SD is short over 30,000 workers). The annual labor shortage will climb to about or over 900,000 annually in 15 years until peaking. Wage inflation is built into the system.

Noem’s and republican answers are to: 1) close the borders stopping immigration and exacerbating wage inflation, and 2) forcing seniors to work by cutting social security and medicare. The US will NOT receive immigrants from western or even eastern Europe because those nations have far better social safety nets and also have populations in decline. US immigrants MUST come largely from Central and South America and Africa – where the birthrate is over the replacement birthrate. Bloomberg and the financial press recently “woke up” to the fact that China’s population is fast declining. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MSV2bh48MA

I think that the campus, or at least part of the facilities at Presentation College should be converted to the Fred Deutsch Aberdeen Medical Cannabis dispensary. Maybe the Sisters should have kept the money that they used to help buy 20,000 votes to defeat IM27. Karma is a bitch.

Strange situation since nurses are in high demand and low availability. What gives?

For the record, The Presentation Sisters Are Not To Be Confused With The Pointer Sisters.

Your state needs a computer chip factory. America needs lots and lots of them.

Well…I consider it a blow to Aberdeen and to the state generally. The Benedictines and Presentation Sisters have contributed greatly to health care and our quality of life in South Dakota. Historically, in South Dakota, communities depended on the Presentation Sisters and Benedictines to establish hospitals and train medical personnel. It appears that time is now past but the quality of their replacements in the industry is in doubt.

Might this become a regional jail for the County of Brown and its neighbors?

Maybe it should become a boot camp for those whose BMI is over 27.

Maybe a Soylent Green processing center for grudz and his “Connie Commoners with No Sense” group.

A state-owned resort catering to elderly fellows who enjoy all you can eat breakfast buffets! Only that Aberdeen is a hole nobody wants to visit. So the prison idea is probably best.

To Serve Mann

The point about health care and nurse supply is worth considering. We are short on nurses, as we are of many other important professionals. One would think that the need for nurses would have kept Presentation College’s nursing program viable. But perhaps PC struggled to sustain its nursing program for the same reasons South Dakota struggles to recruit nurses: not enough students wanted to study in a relatively remote area, and not enough faculty wanted to work for the lower wages at PC when they could make much more working elsewhere.

Of course, in this case, you’d think the wage issue would have solved itself: high demand for nurses should have led to high demand for nurse training programs which should have led to lots of tuition-paying students which should have led to good salaries for instructors.

PC was competing with SDSU for nursing students, and that doesn’t seem a fair fight, but again, if SDSU isn’t completely meeting the market demand for nurses, you’d think there’d be room for a competitive nursing program elsewhere in the state.

As to Aberdeen, hey, private colleges have closed before, Yankton College was a big one. With men attending college less than they did in the 1970s, online web colleges and learning programs are starting to take over.

To pump up Aberdeen in general, start a for profit or social business (M. Yunus, Nobel Prize Winner) and as you grow your business, set up shop in Aberdeen, add 5 or 10 employees there. Yes!

Hey, I’ll post this now. A little guide on how to set up Free your own Legislature.

1. Pick a name. Something cool, like Bison Legislature, Ft. Pierre Friendly Legislature, or whatever up you like.

3. Easy way to run it. Use a checking account. Maybe post your results online. Here’s the name of my Legislature, how many members, no elections. We have $20 in our account, we gave so much money to these charities or great causes.

4. Choose one or more projects that you and your Legislature will do. Post updates to the success of your project(s)!

5. A major factor of your Legislature’s success. It will be since you are giving 10% to 100% of your Legislature’s cash (from a bank account or in your cash kitty like an empty milk carton) to nonprofit causes, Increase will happen! Tithing or giving a percentage of your Legislature’s money to nonprofit causes will invariably bring Lots more money to your Legislature, hey you can buy a town in West River maybe ! (Most of Interior was sold to a church in the Philippines a while back). With a prospering Legislature, you could pay yourselves a modest salary and keep doing unlimited good ! (Read Charles Fillmore’s great book, Prosperity.)

That’s very cool! 5 easy rules and you can have your own private Legislature making life better today!

1. Name. 2. Number of members. 3. Checking account or cash kitty. 4. Project(s). 5. Donate 10% plus (or tithe)

Your Legislature can post it’s great results on Twitter, Facebook Groups, Blogger or any blog, Mailchimp.com or any free web page building site, Instagram.

You don’t have to wait until November 2024.

You can create your own Legislature today!

According to this article…. https://www.usa.edu/blog/nursing-shortage/ .South Duhkota has the 7th largest shortage of nurses in the Nation.

Converting PC into assisted living apartments for low income Seniors would be an option.

The Order of the Presentation opened St. Mary’s in Elkton where I attended grade school but the nuns were from the Dominican and Benedictine Orders, too. They were Commies who taught us Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and Puff the Magic Dragon.

City of Aberdeen opens Presentation College facilities for community use

ABERDEEN, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - One year ago, Presentation College announced it would be closing its campus permanently. Now, city officials in Aberdeen have found that one man’s campus is another man’s recreational treasure.

For many months, there were questions around the city of Aberdeen about what was going to happen with the buildings on Presentation’s campus, such as the Presentation Dome and the Strode Center. That decision laid with the Presentation Sisters, and they were the ones who reached out to Aberdeen Parks and Recreation with an idea.

A lease agreement to transfer control of the facilities to the city was formed with the Sisters. In December, Aberdeen officially opened the Strode Center and newly renamed Aberdeen Dome to the community.

For a small daily fee or the purchase of a punch card, residents can utilize the Saints’ fitness center, basketball court and indoor turf field, which lies in a temperature-controlled dome and also features batting cages.

Those facilities quickly generated interest from Aberdeen’s residents.

“Right now, we have offered some Dome hours. It’s kind of how we are scheduling things in the mornings to allow people to come in and use these facilities every morning.  We are working with other groups in town, certainly the Hub City Soccer Club, Northern State University, and Central High School have all scheduled times already,” said Recreation Aquatic Supervisor Travis Lemer.

Northern State University’s head distance running coach, Macy Heinz, was just one of the many that jumped on the opportunity to have their team practice in the Aberdeen Dome. Since winter’s arrival, it’s already proved to be an asset.

“As far as I know from last year, we struggled to get outside, especially with the winter we had last year.  I think this is a really good tool that we can have now to utilize to A: for the city of Aberdeen and B: for athletes to get some good training in a fairly temperature regulated, not icy surface,” said Heinz.

Parks and Rec Director Mark Hoven believes the facilities will bring new opportunities to Aberdeen’s residents.

“It was really a quality of life type thing. You live in Aberdeen... a lot of winters here. This provides an opportunity for people to get out of the winter. So, we’re pretty excited to have the opportunity to come in and have both this and the Strode Activities Center to be available to the citizens of Aberdeen to use,” said Hoven.

City officials say they are leasing the facilities on a month-to-month basis, but hope to reach a purchase agreement with the Presentation Sisters in the near future.

presentation college in aberdeen south dakota

ABERDEEN, S.D.  - On Saturday, six Northern State University graduates will earn their degree through a collaborative teach-out agreement between Northern State University and Presentation College. 

Daiova Manuel Tejeda is one of the six graduates defying the odds. Nationwide, only 47.1% of students re-enrolled at another institution after a closure, and only 36.8% earned a degree.

"The assistance provided by the Registrar's Office, particularly by Peggy Hallstrom, played a significant role in ensuring a smooth transition and timely graduation," said Daiova Manuel Tejeda, one of the six graduating students. "Leaving behind familiar faces and starting a new chapter at a different university was daunting, but it was also a chance to embrace change and forge my own path. Looking back, I am grateful for the support of my peers, professors, and advisors who helped me navigate the transition and discover my place within the university community.”

In fall 2023, 21 Presentation College students enrolled at Northern State University, and on Saturday, the first six will graduate and become Northern State University alumni:

  • Timothy English from Westminster, Colorado, graduates with a BA in criminal justice
  • Samuel Garner from Arvada, Colorado, graduates with a BS in business administration
  • Daiova Manuel Tejeda from Veracruz, Mexico, graduates with a BS in management
  • Antony Martinez from Aberdeen, South Dakota, graduates with a BS in biology
  • Kylon Miller from Fresno, California, graduates with a BA in communication studies
  • Captain Whitlock from Honolulu, Hawaii, graduates with a BS in psychology

“All at Northern wanted to help do whatever we could to make completion of a comparable NSU degree a reality for the PC students,” said Peggy Hallstrom, Northern State University registrar. “It was a little like a puzzle, working with faculty and advisors to customize a plan for each student to achieve their goal.”

As a Northern student, Daiova became involved by working on campus in the Admissions Office. "We're very proud of the persistence Daiova showed during her transition to Northern. In the short time she was here, Daiova had a significant impact on the Northern campus community, and we were truly blessed to have her as part of the Admissions team. We wish her and all the graduates the best," said Northern State University Director of Admissions Layton Cooper.

Long-term issues to close doors at Presentation College

presentation college in aberdeen south dakota

Presentation is offering ‘teach-out’ agreements with other institutions to accept current students without needing an application or increase in tuition costs.

This comes as the Aberdeen college prepares to permanent close its doors later this year.

College president Paula Langteau said it’s part of administration’s effort to put people first through the transition.

“We take very seriously our commitment to our students, our faculty, and our staff, and we’re doing everything in our power to make sure we take care of individuals through this difficult and trying transition,” Langteau said.

Langteau, who arrived at Presentation in 2019, said the closure is the result of longstanding financial and enrollment issues.

“We streamlined leadership, renegotiated vendor contracts, reduced operating budgets, really brought down our budgets to about two and a half million dollars – and things were starting to look better, our accounts payable was up to date. Things were turning around," Langteau said. "At that time, as you know, COVID hit. That was the spring of 2020. That has been devastating for our institution.”

Langteau said the Presentation Sisters are now looking ahead to the future.

“While we mourn the loss of all the things that are no longer going to be, we also recognize – I think sister Marion said it best when she said the Presentation Sisters pride themselves that they evolve with the times, and we are moving to see more online education,” Langteau said.

Currently, Presentation College students can enroll through teach-outs at Dakota Wesleyan, Dickinson State, Olivet College, St. Ambrose University, and the University of Mary.
